My main concentration these days is wildlife photography as I am working on a large-format coffee table book featuring all the species of birds in Arizona. 540 different species of birds have been recorded in Arizona, but 160 of those are considered rare or accidental. The rarities will be featured in a separate section and will not all have photographs. The true Arizona birds, 370 of them, will each have a full page or double-page spread.

The book is scheduled to be published in the Fall 2026. I still need to get top quality shots of eleven hard to find species, so I spend my mornings in the field and afternoons at the computer.

The book is planned to be 9.5" x 13"  480 pages, hardback. The first printing will be a limited edition of 1,000 signed copies.
